Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism

CULTISH is among the smartest, moist astute, and (sometimes) funniest books I have read lately. Amanda Montell brilliantly walks us through the language of cults, her research thorough and thought-provoking, and makes us realize that the very word "cult" is insufficient to convey the differences between a "cult" that leads to hundreds of people dying far from home and one that is all about fitness and leggings. I loved this book, every anecdote, every observation, every page. I picked it up as research for a novel I'm writing, but -- like the best research books I read when immersed in a novel -- quickly became the sort of wonderful book that transcended work for me.
